There are a few issues, such as questionable build quality and a diluted performance, but they’re worth forgiving if you want a big laptop for on-the-go work. However, in order to achieve such a feat, LG has had to make a number of compromises. Firstly, it’s lagging behind rival laptops in our performance benchmark tests, despite flaunting Intel’s 11th Generation processor. Build quality is questionable too, since the laptop has noticeable flex when put under pressure. But are such flaws a deal breaker when you’re getting a big-display laptop that’s an absolute doddle to carry around?
1249, which gets you a model with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 8GM RAM and 512GB of storage. 1449, featuring an Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. There is no option for a discrete graphics card. Design The LG Gram 16 is officially the lightest 16-inch laptop you can buy, which is no surprise since I can pick it up with two fingers.
This lightweight feat is LG’s signature move, making the Gram range among the best if portability is your chief concern. I’ve genuinely had to double check it’s actually still in the bag. This makes me sceptical about this laptop’s endurance, despite LG claiming it passes the MIL-STD-810G military standard test, which evaluates the Gram 16’s durability and reliability with dust, shock and extreme temperatures. They’re impressive credentials, but I’d still be very worried if I dropped this laptop from a high height. LG has given the Gram range an aesthetic makeover since the 2020 range, now offering both black and silver options which arguably look more sophisticated. The lid and deck of the laptop feel more textured now too, although it still doesn’t feel quite as fancy as a Dell XPS 13.
